One Row Button Hole

I love this button hole. It’s a bit like the Basic Button hole in that you BO stitches and you CO stitches, but all of that happens in one row so the button hole doesn’t gape. It’s also reinforced so it’s a bit sturdier. The button hole is a little rigid, but I think that’s a good thing because it doesn’t stretch out.

My only complaint is that it’s bulky looking in worsted weight. Well, that and the fact that was really hard to try to knit this using two colors, but that’s not something one would normally do.
